    Your PRD has a problem section and a solution section. It needs a prototype section.

    The best PMs today don't just write specs — they ship a working prototype alongside them. They use generative AI to pressure-test product sense, vibe code a clickable proof-of-concept before engineering picks it up, and run responsible AI checklists the same way they run acceptance criteria. This 5-week course rebuilds your PM workflow from the ground up: sharper product sense, richer PRDs, faster prototypes, and ship decisions you can actually defend.

    What You'll Learn

    🧠

    AI-Augmented Product Sense

    Use generative AI to generate competing framings of a user problem, surface edge cases you'd miss, and stress-test your product intuition before writing a word of spec — so your reasoning is sharper, not outsourced.

    🛠️

    Vibe Coding Prototype

    Build a clickable working prototype using Claude Code, v0, or Cursor in under 2 hours — embedded in your PRD as a first-class artifact that replaces 3 pages of interaction spec engineers can't act on.

    📋

    AI-Native PRD

    Restructure your PRD format to include a prototype artifact, edge case coverage map, responsible AI section, and model-specific acceptance criteria — fields that reflect how AI products actually get built and reviewed.

    ⚖️

    Responsible AI Evaluation

    Produce a responsible AI review for a real AI feature: bias surface map, failure mode log by user segment, mitigation plan with owners, and a documented go/no-go recommendation your legal team can act on.

    Who Is This For?

    This course is designed for:

    📋

    Mid-to-Senior PMs Who Write PRDs

    Who own ship decisions and want their workflow to reflect what AI-native product development actually looks like — prototype artifacts, responsible AI sections, and model-specific acceptance criteria as standard fields.

    🤖

    PMs on AI-Native Teams

    Who are shipping LLM features and are expected to understand evals, model behavior, and responsible AI — but haven't had a structured framework for running a real AI product review.

    🚀

    PMs Moving into AI Product Roles

    Who need to demonstrate technical product depth in interviews and on the job — prototyping ability, eval fluency, and responsible AI judgment as evidence of AI-native PM capability.

    Projects You'll Ship

    01

    AI-Native PRD

    A fully restructured PRD for a real feature: three competing problem framings, a working prototype linked as a first-class artifact, an edge case coverage map, and a responsible AI section with specific mitigations and owners. The format you'll use for every PRD going forward — and a portfolio piece that shows AI-native product depth.

    02

    Responsible AI Evaluation Document

    A complete responsible AI review for a real AI feature: bias surface map, failure mode log by user segment, mitigation plan with owners, and a documented go/no-go recommendation. The artifact that makes ship decisions defensible — to your team, legal, and your users. Reusable as a standard gate for every AI feature your org ships.

    03

    AI-Native PM Workflow Playbook

    Your personal repeatable workflow — from user problem to prototype to PRD to ship decision — documented as a playbook you can hand to any PM on your team. Presented live to the cohort with critique on problem framing, prototype quality, responsible AI coverage, and decision rigor.

    What Students Say

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "The prototype-in-the-PRD format changed how my team works. Engineering now asks for it before they'll start scoping. The vibe coding week alone was worth the entire sprint."

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "I ran my first responsible AI review in Week 4 on a feature we were about to ship. It surfaced a bias exposure we'd completely missed. We caught it before launch — not after."

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "The AI-native PRD format is now our team standard. My manager asked where it came from. I told her — and she enrolled three other PMs the next week."

    You build. Nobody demos at you.

    Every session is follow-along — you build the thing yourself while a practitioner works beside you. That is why the hours look long: they are yours to build in, with an expert on hand to guide you. None of it is a traditional lecture.

    One Saturday, 4 hours, live on Zoom with Teja Bandaru
    This is Session 1 of the course — Week 1: Sharpen your product judgment before you write a single spec. The real session, not a taster
    Hands-on throughout: you ship your AI-Native PRD by the end, finished
    Recording, materials and the working file are yours to keep
    Continue to the full course and your $99 comes off — $900 for the rest

    In the session, you'll:

    Generate multiple competing framings of a user problem using AI — surfacing the framing you'd have chosen by default and evaluating which is most defensible given the evidence
    Apply AI-assisted edge case generation to a real product brief — identifying failure modes, underserved segments, and scope risks before the PRD exists
    Design a personal product sense calibration loop that uses AI to challenge your assumptions without outsourcing your judgment to a model that can't tell you what your users actually need
